During the 1960’s and 1970s, the Georgetown Inn entertained Hollywood stars, royalty and icons such as artist Andy Warhol, actors Robert Stack and George Burns, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor and political luminaries like the Kennedy family.
Guests at the celebration included ABC 7’s Natasha Barrett, KStreetKate’s Kate Michael and Pamela’s Punch’s Pamela Sorenson. But the real gem was previous Georgetown Inn owner Collin Bird’s wife, writer & socialite Mary Bird who knows all. (Georgetown Inn owner Nayan Patel shown in top photo)
